Hi!<br />
<br />
Did you change anything in the network ? New switch, load balancer or some network config change ?<br />
This could (as momi_sabag says) be a timeout setting on the db2 server side (if the dba changed it). <br />
<br />
Regards,<br />

Hi <br />
<br />
I am running an application in Windows XP mode on Windows 7 that uses an ODBC connection to a remote DB2 database. &nbsp;This has been working fine but now we are getting socket closed and connection link closed errors if users leave the application for a few minutes and then return. &nbsp;How can I troubleshoot this issue and determine the cause of the timeout if thats the issue?

Socket Closed / connection link failure to DB2 database

IBM DB2 is a family of relational database server products developed by IBM that have been extended to support object-relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. There are three main products in the DB2 family: DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (informally known as DB2 LUW), DB2 for z/OS (mainframe), and DB2 for i (formerly OS/400), plus a version for IBM's Virtual Storage Extended (VSE) operating system.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between two or more entities (communication) includes the use of technology. Communication technology uses channels to transmit information (as electrical signals), either over a physical medium (such as signal cables), or in the form of electromagnetic waves. The word is often used in its plural form, telecommunications, because it involves many different technologies.
